Baron's sharpshooting leads URI to ninth straight win

Baron scored 16 of his 22 points in the first half as No. 22
Rhode Island rolled to a 94-63 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson
on Wednesday.

Lamonte Ulmer had 13 points and Kahiem Seawright added 12 for
the Rams (14-1), who captured their ninth straight win.

Rhode Island, which shot 55 percent (38-of-69), continued its
best start since the 1946-47 squad began 15-1.

The Rams will attempt to match that mark when they open their
A-10 Conference schedule at No. 23 Dayton next Wednesday. They
have won their last two appearances at Dayton Arena, and three
of the last four meetings overall.
